A true visionary at the time, Abdullah Al­Darwish Fakhroo established successful operations in shares and investments in financial institutions that evolved and spread across industries such as trading, automobiles, property development, construction and contracting, hotels, travel and tourism all across the Middle East, Europe and the USA. Born into a family of entrepreneurs, Abdullah portrayed the makings of a great leader in spearheading the growth of the Darwish of Group of Companies across the Gulf.
